I am not saying I definitely would. But I am interested in how the business works and how some of you got into it in the first place. But on another note, why wouldnt I? I love sports, love gambling, love the renegade atmosphere of the business, and am sick of my current job.
If I did not have a baby I would pack myself up and go to Antigua or CR and bang on every single door until someone gave me a job. I grew up without money and have lived in poor conditions before. That doesnt bother me. I am getting to a point in my life where I am sick of doing a job I dislike. Obviously I have family responsibilities so I cannot just jump off at a whim chasing my dreams and I am proud that I can give my family a nice lifestlye.
But a part of me wants to just say fuck it and do something I really like which happens to be sports and gambling.
Well That's where it Stops. You have a Family, You have a Kid. are you Married ??
If so, then this Job is Not for you. Because even though there are plenty of Guys down in CR or Panama that are Married. They are Married Down there, to a Local or as close as a Local as possible.
For a Single Guy, IMHO it's a Great Job. Let's take NES ....
When he came down there, he was Not Married, Young... No Real responsibilities
* I don't want to Speak for Him* I'm only using him because I Know him when he first came down there.
But if you are Single, and can Live with Low means.... You Could work out.
But Far from Easy.... If you can Speak English like I said, it's a Plus and you will make more than the Locals. But NOT a Lot more.
If you have a Back round of being in the Business back in the States, that's another added Plus.
Also, from what I have seen and Heard. It's Really Not that much Cheaper in CR anymore.
Sure Rent is Much Cheaper, but the Buck Stops there !
Back in the day when I was in Margarita island... Those were the Days !
We had a Great Time. " Fun and games"
Don't think it's any longer that way.
But if you have NO responsibilities, then it's fine. Unless of course you are Higher up on the Ladder and making good Coin.
I'm sure Most of the Current guys can tell you better.
